This selection of 22 French racing bikes from the 1930s to the 1990s does not claim to be complete. It is simply intended to illustrate the elegance, beauty and variety of bicycles designed in France during this period. The title of this publication quotes the motto of the speeding postman François from the film Jour de fête (1949) by Jacques Tati. The unstoppable human quest for faster, higher, further can also be seen in the history of French racing bikes... 22 bikes from the collections of Alexander Philipp / Subsonico and Karl Heinrich were illuminated and photographed by Niels Schubert, Stuttgart.

The networked image is a slice of network production that is emblematic of the current image economy. As a hub within a techno-social infrastructure it manages the network as a directive tool. This is a result of its existence within a production protocol that is programmed by technologies such as web applications, digital cameras and smartphone apps. Since networked images are part of a specific software, they are marked by software proper- ties, which enables them to be transformed into scripts or protocol. Image management discusses a move from images as representation, to the application of images as productive networked objects. It is about the role of the image as mediator between technological and social protocols.

New-York based Hassla compiles the photography of B. Ingrid Olson and the writing of Jesse Carsten, with Salt. The juxtaposition feels appropriate, as each photograph or text has a distinct brevity and leaves much to the imagination of its audience. Olson's photographs center on the female form, against blurred and colorful backdrops. Carsten's writings center on a similar ambiguity, with phrases that seem to make little sense but go together seamlessly. No matter the message perceived, Salt is heavy on aesthetic value.

Encountering the Fall of the Berlin Wall during her trip from Paris in 1989, where she was studying back then, birth of baby girl Tenko between German guy met in Tokyo, and invitation from director Christoph Schlingensief to Berlin - a curious turn of fate made Hanayo live in Germany from 1999 to 2010. Letting herself go with the flow, but spent purposeful, willing lives in Germany - such Hanayo's way of life overlaps with unique, weightless and fantastic photographs she takes. Hanayo's apartment in Berlin were always full of friends. It didn't matter who you are and where you are from, and everyone were tied by bonds naturally while spending time and sharing space together. Germany became like Hanayo's second hometown. In this book, selected works from massive collection of photographs Hanayo daily took through her life in Germany. Photographs of landscape, everyday life, portraits of friends and fellow artists as well as rather abstract images are intriguingly edited like a flow of images, freed from time spectrum. End notes by Hanayo will explain also some relationship of the friends and artists appeared in this book, as well as the contexts of Germany back then. This compliation of photographs of 15 years tells you cultures and airs of then Germany, and statement of life of an artist, Hanayo.

"A stranger I arrived; a stranger I depart." Franz Schubert / Wilhelm Müller: Winterreise The vastness of the American landscape, the Big Skies of the West, the empty spaces. This is an extraordinarily beautiful vision of the American landscape in the tradition of the great American Road Trip. 'Road Stills' that capture the harshness and the poetry, the harmony yet also the marks of rural life etched into the landscape: dwellings, pole lines and empty, endless country roads - roads that seem to exist without any obvious destination. Throughout there is a tension and a deep sense of solitude. There are traces of man on the landscape but no human presence. The great expanse of sky is overwhelming. Alfie Masoliver was inspired by Franz Schubert's lieder cycle Winterreise, which was based on a collection of poems by Wilhelm Müller. The mood of the cycle perfectly exemplifies the Romantic Imaginary: The Night, Solitude, Nature, the Journey, the Road. Nature is the interlocutor of the Wanderer. And we ourselves are also the Wanderer, landscape only exists in the eyes of the traveller. This journey without a clear destination could perhaps be understood as a beginning. Without a clear narrative. The work has this fluidity in mind. A journey that for Masoliver expresses in the most honest way his position in the face of life and perhaps in the face of death that will inexorably come to us.

"Aisha" ist das erste Künstlerbuch Yumna Al-Arashis, einer jemenitisch-ägyptischen, in Amerika geborenen Fotografin und Filmemacherin. Dieses kraftvoll-sensible, von Arashis Urgrossmutter Aisha inspirierte Werk ist ihren weiblichen Vorfahren gewidmet, Frauen, die aus der vielschichtigen und vielseitigen SWANA Region stammen. Al-Arashi, die die Bedeutungen der Tätowierungen zu ergründen versucht, die den Körper ihrer Urgrossmutter bedeckten, taucht in die Komplexitäten einer symbolischen, matriarchalischen Tradition ein. Da sie in dem von Bürgerkriegen heimgesuchten Jemen keinen der Orte besuchen konnte, in denen ihre Familie gelebt hatte, bereiste Yumna Nordafrika, wo sie einer Gruppe von Frauen ihrer Generation begegnete: Alle sitzen und stehen, gestikulieren und lachen. Und alle strahlen eine grosse Selbstsicherheit und Lebensfreude aus. Al-Arashis Bilder sind behutsam, doch streng strukturiert, Strukturen, die die Frauen bewusst mit ihrer Umgebung verbinden und vice versa. Bunte Bilder voller Details, intim und provozierend, Bilder, die Verbundenheit und Zusammehalt ausstrahlen. In Texten und Gedichten reflektiert Al-Arashi ihre Erinnerungen an ihre Urgrossmutter und den Duft von Oud, das «eine magische Spur hinterliess, wo auch immer sie sich in ihrem Haus bewegte». In ihren genreübergreifenden Texten spricht Al-Arashi über koloniale Archive generationsübergreifendes Erzählen und die Komplexitäten einer transnationalen, weiblichen arabischen Identität in patriarchalischen, kapitalistischen und imperialistischen Gesellschaften.

Distilled from over 15.000 family albums, Incomplete Encyclopedia of Touch archives the human desire to put a hand on things. Whether it's cars, boats, animals, trees, fridges, bridges, bushes, fellow humans or even their graves - everything that can be touched will be touched. Containing only 2.948 photos, this collection is far from ever being finished but provokes questions about the underlying motivations behind this universal pictorial behaviour. Do we seek connection? Do we claim ownership? Or do we just want to measure ourselves to the objects of our world? Perhaps you could ask yourself these questions, next time you strike a touching pose.

Influenced by fashion design, publishing and scenography, Bruno Zhu works in the space of fiction to rewrite agency, authorship, consumption and power. In 2015, Zhu included a prototype edition in his exhibition New Arrivals at FOAM Amsterdam: a wall calendar depicting the artist's mother in a series of Chinese glamour photoshoots. Almost a decade after its making, 5b is proud to publish the work in a new format, devised in close collaboration with the artist. The sequence begins on September 1972-the month and year of the artist's mother's birth, the year of the Mouse-and continues on a twelve-year cycle, spanning 132 years. Across each page, she is presented anew, surrounded by messages of love and longing: a new outfit, a new scenario, a new moment-ever beautiful, ever hopeful. Titled The September Issue, the project constitutes an early example of Zhu's interest in working with family members, using their images and his own to reassess and reimagine nuclear familial archetypes, approaching them, in his own words, as "a set of characters or agents that can reconstruct a scene, that exists halfway between a symbolic plane and an affective one."Bruno Zhu lives and works between Portugal and the Netherlands. Recent projects include presentations at Veronica in Seattle, What Pipeline in Detroit, Kunstinstituut Melly in Rotterdam, Kunsthalle Zurich in Zurich, Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin, Tai Kwun in Hong Kong, and Centre d'Art Contemporain Genève in Geneva. He is a member of A Maior, a curatorial program set in a home furnishings and clothing store in Viseu, Portugal.

Photographic portraits by British photographer Siân Davey taken in her garden at home in Devon, starting as barren patch of land she filled it with wild flowers, transforming it into a space of inclusivity and belonging for her sitters.

Agua is the first photobook from Caribbean-born, Barcelona-based photographer Denisse Ariana Pérez. Driven by an obsession with humans and the human experience as a whole, her work looks to explore, expose and honour the beauty she sees in others. Water, which has always been present in both life and work, allows her to get closer by dissolving facades and removing walls to celebrate what is found within. From the colder currents of Scandinavia to the warm pink lakes of Senegal, Agua is an intimate and endless journey of human exploration that captures a vital and magical relationship between people and water. "I keep coming back to water scenes. I keep coming back to lakes, rivers and oceans. I like to explore the interaction of people with water. Water can disarm even the most armed of facades. Becoming one with water is not about rushing but rather about flowing. And flowing is the closest thing to being. "
